The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.
So basically a state cannot be taken to federal court by anyone from a different state or a different country. The only example I could come up with for this amendment would be if Mexico had a problem with Texas or something, that would between those two, unless of course they started attacking each other.
Saying that there really isn't much more to the 11th amendment then you just can't sue the federal government for state issues.

The 11th Amendment forbid any person from suing the government from any states or countries. I think this amendment is one of the shortest amendment in the Constitution. The video is short and easy to understand.
